I just found out i got expelled from the top university in my country for the program I was in, due to my overall laziness and procrastination. I'm now posting this from work. I'm going to re-apply to another university come summer, but it just makes me feel i've failed at life by missing out on this great chance at graduating from a great university, getting the ideal job etc.
College is the place to experiment. First of all you start over, so you can make new friends who know to party. Then you can get drunk/stone/laid as often as you want (just don't get caught by the RAs). You can play sports in the intramural league, go to semi-formals. I still know kids who stay in their rooms on the weekend and play WoW while their roommate scores with a chick.
>>527 speaks the truth. College is a second chance - seize it! Unfortunately, I didn't... I didn't join any clubs or groups (except the anime club for 1 semester...) And while I may have gotten a decent education and I do have SOME good memories...
Definately live on campus. One of my best memories is standing in our dorm parking lot at 1:30 in the morning on a Friday night, drunk off my ass, bellowing the chorus of "Barrett's Privateers" and having my roommate attempt to teach me how to skateboard.
Don't think about the past, use the present to improve your current life. Think about what you want, and then do it. Don't let anyone decide or judge your life for you.
I'm in a similar situation, >>528-kun, but I'm looking on the positive side. I think my laziness stemmed primarily (well...maybe secondarily) from the fact that I really didn't want to study what I was studying. I rushed into it, and made myself believe that's what I wanted to do, and was scared to admit that I didn't actually like it as a major.
But now, because my grades were terrible (five fails in the last semester) I'm out, changing degree, and now I'm looking for Universities offering Japanese as a major! ヘ(^^ヘ)(ノ^^)ノ
PS: Are you in the UK, 528-kun? If so, how are you applying at this late stage?
>>528 here. I was originally set on a CS major, but now after examining the variety of jobs available to a CS grad...I'm starting to think i could be in a similar situation as you eg not really enjoying what I was studying. At this point in life, I'm currently a year or two younger than all of my fellow students, and I still have no idea what I really want to spend my life doing. Of course, this could just be a rationalisation to make myself feel better about dropping out. And no, I'm not in the UK - I'm in Canada to be specific.
>>533 - How weird, I was also a CS major, studying at the University of Toronto as a foreign student. I'm now back in the UK looking for alternatives, i.e. schools offering Japanese, unfortunately there aren't very many, and the deadline for applying has passed, so I'll probably have to wait until September 2008 to begin...sigh.
>>534 WOW, I have applied to both CS and Software Engineering for UofT, small world. And I also wanted to go into arts instead, but my drawing sucks and i don't have time to practice :/
My sister and her bf are playing on my compy. Hope they don't find my... private files. That would be awkward :D:D:D
I've had a cramp or something in my left hand all day :(
fuck fuck fuck! i failed a test i study all week for. and according the average, this was a pretty fucking easy test.
I made some mistakes and decided to enter university as a mature student. I needed more qualifications, so I've been studying a course at my local community college. In my classes I am one of two 21 year-olds; we are surrounded by 17 year-olds.
The kids frequently attempt to mock my interests, such as photography, design, programming, Japan etc. This doesn't bother me, but it does get tiring.
I am surrounded by morons. They are unintelligent, have no willingness to learn, are without talent, do not care about doing great work and are only interested in making a quick buck from 'this' industry.
I am in the wrong place. Hopefully, only for another two months.
Thanks 4-ch, I feel better.
Those 17-year old students you describe are basically what I used to be (although, I like to think that I was intelligent and talented, just lazy and not motivated) - hence why I'll be doing the same thing soon, applying for University as a mature student. (Probably as a 23 year old. =( That's really not THAT much older is it?)
>>541
I practically in the same case, but most of the people I know aren't that much older. But then again, it's porbably because of my major. (Engineering.)
I'm beginning to curse the day i first set my eyes on densha otoko. After watching the series, i somehow got inspired by it and started to feel for all those otakus out there. i really love the show then. Now, i get annoyed whenever is see my densha otoko files on my drive. i wouldn't dare to delete it cause i know i would regret it. the even more disturbing fact is why. why am i annoyed with densha otoko? is it b'cause of saori's overly cute face or densha's whining and crying?

3am in the morning i was in the library bathroom 'taking care of business' when this guy comes in and does uses the bathroom and leaves. however, when he leaves, he turns off the lights. fucktard...
why are people so gullible?
well i thought when i went to this site that there wernt going to be any memes! and wtf!
>>547
I never knew there were libraries open at 3am.
>>547
exact same fucking thing happened to me on tuesday. in a library and everything. there's no way you could use the urinal in that tiny bathroom and not notice the single cubicle was occupied, but apparently this guy was fucking blind. or just a tool.
I went to the toilet of a library at fucking 3AM and can you believe it those guys just leave the lights on all night so I turned them off. jesus what a waste of energy
I've had that happen to me before as well.
I guess if it was their own they would turn the light off before elaving, so they may have just forgotton.
Posting from work. Being on call sucks... especially when shit starts breaking 30 minutes before quitting time.
I really, really want to order a pizza and do some heavy drinking right now.
>>555
Pizza and heavy drinking... sounds really really niiiiiiiiiice...
So I just found out the guy I'd been crushing on likes me back.
In disbelief and foreign waters now.
>>552
I was studying A-levels, and I wasn't a jerk.
Scrapbooks, essays, projects... that's why I hate the end of school years. -_-
I don't know if that fucking bear has made things better or worse, really. Maybe it's the same.
Having a nice day so far. :)
Mou. I'm bored and lonely and it's like 4am so I should be asleep now. I had exams last week and they sucked, and I'm feeling really fed up about things.
I've got exams this week and I should be studying but i just can't concentrated. I'm so sick of it all.
And english is really driving me up the wall. It's so pointless at the moment. And we have to do it as a subject but I'll never use this kind of stuff at uni.
Ok now I'm just complaining but >>565, I know how you feel.
>>564
He approached me about it (not without the sound effects of his friends jeering).
He's not a bad catch. Too bad we didn't click (totally nothing in common makes for limited conversation). He's yet to cotton on though. I suck.
>>567
Go out with him once and see how things go. He'll probably get the hint that nothings going to happen and in the end one date can't kill you; it'll either be great, something to learn from or just something to laugh at later.
>>568
You know, I've actually done that before. Gone out with someone I didn't like, just so they would get the hint and leave me alone. It didn't turn out that great, I felt completely horrible afterwards. Not because I felt sorry for him, but rather I was sorry for myself. He was continually trying to feel me up and insisting on taking photos. Not to mention he was a stingy bastard and incredibly patronising.
But saying all of that, I would seriously consider doing what you suggested if it weren't for the bad timing of all this. Exams are here for me too, and at the moment I'm not really in the mood to deal with it. Plus I don't want him to lose his focus either.
Hope your exams go well too.
Stuck here at work today. Sucks, but that's what you get when you work for a retailer. Oh well, my group threw a 'because we have to work' party in the lab, so I've been chowing down on all kinds of goodies all morning. I won't be able to eat any lunch...
Did anyone just start summer session? First day for biology.
i cant talk to a girl i like for 9 months besides hi. GOD STRIKE ME DOWN
I just failed my first biology test due to not realising there was a short time line and I spent 3 hours doing the labs to prepare.
Okay, Anonymous B-Z, Anonymous A needs your help. I remember, a looong time ago, there was this website. A mythic website. You could type in the name of a band you liked, and in this cool flash-type display it would show you a whole crapload of simmilar bands, and diagrams of how they related to each other (with the most simmilar bands being the closest to your band's node). My question - does this site (or simmilar site) still exist, and if so, where???
#1. holy crap on the fast service
#2. perfect - exactly what I was looking for
#3. Can I have your baby?
A girl I like is gonna move in a few weeks. Fuck.
Is this sad in the way that two people in love are moving apart, or is it sad in the way that you never expressed your feelings?
llllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllll

Yesterday I bought a Toshiba mp3 player shaped like a whale with a :3 face, for £25. 1GB. I like it.
OKay, here's my problem... I want to:
Q:...How do I go about doing that? what programs do I need?
Help is appreciated.
>>586
I only have limited advise for screen recording
Google up 'fraps'
I've never used it myself, but it can record the screen.
Or, there's a nifty freeware app called 'Animget'. It'll capture frames and turn them into a load of .bmps.
Oh, and if you have a bunch of still .gifs that you want to combine into an animated one, there's the tiny freeware app 'UnFreez'.
AviScreen Classic does the job and is freeware.
>>588
Disregard that, for avi->gif I use GIF Movie Gear. Oh yeah babeh~
thanks for the help guys, I'll try them out!
I'm in training for the second week in a row. The folks at the office will forget what I look like!
I'm now an adult, and should get my driver's license soon. And get a fucking job. I've got holidays, but am stressed out as fuck. Oh, and my doctor is sending me to a psychologist, because I've reportedly got crappy mental health. This is gonna be a long summer.
Today I'm graduating from High School, in just a few hours. They had to make the thing so freakin' early. It's gonna be at the Apollo Theater which is pretty whoot. Didn't make valedictorian like I should've, but at least I don't let my father write my college essays for me and I didn't wind up pregnant like this year's valedictorian. Hrm~ Ah well. Yay.

If you ever come to the cafe where I work, please keep the following things in mind:
>If you're paying for anything that costs more than $10 with a credit card, you're doing it wrong.
Air miles, reward programs, establishing/improving credit rating, etc.
This is not an English word, why did you say it?
>>607
Service. You get paid for it.
If I ever go to your cafe, I will personally make sure that you work for every cent that I give you.
And then make you break me a $100 dollar note.
>>608
All right, granted, I never thought of that.
>If I ever go to your cafe, I will personally make sure that you work for every cent that I give you.
You mean every cent you give to the company? Fair enough. I get paid the same whether you show up or not.
And I work plenty hard, thank you. Don't think I don't just because I decided to bitch about my minor pet peeves on the Intercube.
>And then make you break me a $100 dollar note.
You say that like it's particularly hard or time-consuming.
That's some bitter green tea you're selling.
>We have three different green tea products - hot green tea, iced green tea, and green tea ice cream. Please don't come up to the counter and ask for just "green tea" and expect me to immediately know what you mean.
You would think since it's a cafe, "hot green tea" would be the default "green tea." I don't go into Satarbucks and ask for "Hot Coffee"... but then again I dn't ask for "Coffee" either.
>If you want the ice cream that costs more, ask for the one that costs more. Don't ask for "the big one"; they're both the same size.
Why does it cost more? Just wondering.
I'm in love with a girl.
I love her so much.
Kill me.
>You would think since it's a cafe, "hot green tea" would be the default "green tea."
You would think so, wouldn't you? Seems "green tea" means a different thing each time somebody asks for it, though. Ah well.
>Why does it cost more? Just wondering.
We put red bean paste on top.
>>614
No. If you're dead, then you can't go over and bone the shit out of her.
>>616
I can't even if I'm alive. And it hurts.

Awww, I remember back in the day,
I was in love with a girl too. I didn't dare touch her, or even speak with her. She had pretty golden hair and auburn eyes. Funny thing is, I don't think we'd have gotten along. Maybe that's why I never approached her. I don't make too big a deal about it. I think I'm pretty much over her by now. But jesus was I obsessed!
But now look where I am! I'm posting on 4-ch and I have no life! You should not follow my example!
I had the EXACT same freaking experience.
You are probably the story of my life.
I've been to 4chan. It's a great site; with lots of pictures, Anime, Hentai, Ecchi, Video Game Screenshots.... Just amazing. It's just that why the fuck do these people just like to be an Internet Jerkass? They complain about them, but sadly, their dicks also hold the instinct of being a dumbass too. And why the fuck are there a bunch of underage kiddies form Myspace and Gaia? I'm ready to lather these dumbasses in butter and let the fat people out.
Who's with me?
Don't worry Anon, good folks like us always pull through!
At least, that's what I'd like to think.
About the girl I like... I, fortunately, get to speak to her a lot, and I think she thinks of me as a great friend... But that's it. Words can't describe how much I wish she would just LOVE me.
Boo hoo.
>>622
you cant like to think anything
you must know with full force
Well, keep talking with her. You might be surprised, especially if you can be a little flirtatious with smiles/looks...
I wouldn't rule yourself out too quickly.
Today I caught a friend of mine staring at me whilst I was studying. I had previously turned down his advances yonks ago, and managed to continue being friends. But I was caught off guard by him staring so intently (he didn't stop when I looked up), that I responded quite rudely with "What?", coupled with a what-the-heck-is-your-problem expression. A little while ago he also questioned me about a male friend he saw me talking to. Again, surprised and creeped out by his intrusiveness, I replied in the same way.
On the other hand, another friend that I turned down is playing a different approach. Not long after the rejection, he is constantly asking me to introduce me to my female friends, or verbally checking out girls in front of me. I'm not jealous and I know what he's playing at, but it doesn't make it any less insulting.
"Stupid boys, throw rocks at them."
